2.0

It's great that an international SFF anthology was put together, but the short stories were too different from each other and this made reading them in sequence quite jarring.


I didn't like this anthology more for two reasons.

First, some of the stories were horror, which is a genre I really don't like.

Second, some of the stories had a writing style that I didn't like.

The only story that really stood out to me and was my favorite was "The Lost Xuyan Bride". A couple of others were OK.
